What is the difference between a single stage and a two-stage trigger?
Simply put, single-stage should have one consistent pull weight for the entire length of pull from start to break, whereas two-stage triggers have two distinct stages through the pull (often referred to as 1st stage take-up and second stage “wall”). Single-stage triggers are the most used in AR applications.
What is a 2 stage fire control group?
